A member asked:
Can a yolk sac be mistaken for a twin pregnancy in 8 week ultrasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hope Not!: By 8 weeks, it should be fairly easy to see 2 fetuses with their own hearts. This is a good time to define number of gestational sacs and placental disposition. Exactly what are the credentials of the person doing the sono? That is very important.
